How We Crossed the West: The Adventures of Lewis and Clark by Rosalyn Schanzer (

Description: How We Crossed the West by Rosalyn Schanzer This exciting and sometimes humorous look at a remarkable episode in American history is told by the actual words of Lewis and Clark as they describe their journey to the Pacific Ocean. Excerpts from Clarks journal recreates their adventures--from hostile terrain and helpful Indians to boating disasters and encounters with grizzly bears. Full-color illustrations. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The book begins with Lewiss letter to Clark proposing a "trip to explore those western rivers which may run all the way across North America to the western ocean" and Clarks reply "to cheerfully join you in this rewarding endeavor." From there, every stage of the journey is illustrated--from the building of the ships the crew would use, the choosing of the crew itself, and the farewell from St. Louis on May 14, 1804, to meetings with friendly and unfriendly Indian tribes, discovering a wealth of previously unknown plants and animals, bouts with fleas and fever, a miserable climb through the Bitterroot Mountains, and finally the much-longed-for view of the Pacific Ocean. The text is taken directly from the journals of Lewis and Clark, which makes it excellent primary source material. In addition, every page is filled with illustrations in a charming folk-art style that brings the scenes to life.
